Three new species of Zephronia from the Oriental Region by r. i. pocock 

 of the British Museum fNat. Hist.]. 



Pending the publication of the revision of the Zephroniidae , 

 which is now in preparation, I have abstained from treating 

 at length of the affinities of the three species here described. 

 The first two form part of the collection of Myriopoda made by 

 Sig. L. Fea in Burma — a collection which has been entrusted 

 to me for identification by the Marquis G. Doria. The third 

 species, was brought by M.'' J. Whitehead from M.* Kina Balu 

 — a locality from which so many new and interesting species 

 have been already recorded by various authors. 



Zeplxvonia doriae, sp. n. 



Colour; anterior half of the tergites ochraceous, dull and 

 somewhat coarsely granular; posterior portion piceous, smooth 

 and polished. 



Head somewhat closely punctured below, sparsely above, 

 conspicuously excavated above in the middle. 



Nuchal plate with an inferior marginal , series of punctures and 

 a few punctures on its disk; its inferior border produced in 

 the middle to fill the excavation in the upper surface of the 

 head ; not marked by either a fine ridge or a fine sulcus. 



First tergite sparsely punctured in its anterior portion ; some- 

 what abruptly sloped towards its anterior margin; lamina very 

 slightly developed with evenly arched and evenly thickened 

 anterior border.
